lovely lyrics

The Cars

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong, but bye
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call
Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams
Who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake
Who's gonna come around
When you break
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
Oh you know you can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Answer? God.

St. Teresa -- Joan Osborne

Sit down on the corner, just a little climb
When I make my money, got to get my dime
Sit down with her baby, wind is full of trash
She bold as the street light, dark and sweet as hash

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon
Oh, St. Teresa higher than the moon

Reach down for the sweet stuff, when she looks at me
I know any man sees you like I see
Follow down the side street movin' single file, she say
That's where I'll hold you, sleeping like a child

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon
Oh, St. Teresa higher than the moon

Just what I've been needin', feel it rise in me, she say
Every stone a story, like a rosary
Corner St. Teresa, just a little crime
When I make my money, got to get my dime

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon
Oh, St. Teresa higher than the moon

You called up in the sky
You called up in the clouds
Is there something you forgot to tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Show me my Teresa, feel it rise in me
Every stone a story, like a rosary

"Watching the Wheels"
John Lennon

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings
to save me from ruin,
When I say that I'm o.k.
they look at me kind of strange,
Surely you're not happy now
you no longer play the game,

People say I'm lazy,
dreaming my life away.
Well they give me all kinds of advice
designed to enlighten me.
When I tell them I'm doing fine
watching shadows on the wall,
"Don't you miss the big time boy
you're no longer on the ball?"

I'm just sitting here
watching the wheels go round and round.
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.

People asking questions,
lost in confusion.
Well I tell them there's no problem,
Only solutions.
Well they shake their heads
and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time.

I'm just sitting here
watching the wheels go round and round.
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.

I just had to let it go.

"Whatever Gets You Through The Night"
John Lennon

Whatever gets you through the night
'salright, 'salright
It's your money or your life
'salright, 'salright
Don't need a sword to cut through flowers
oh no, oh no

Whatever gets you through your life
'salright, 'salright
Do it wrong or do it right
'salright, 'salright
Don't need a watch to waste your time
oh no, oh no

Hold me darlin'
come on listen to me
I won't do you no harm
Trust me darlin'
come on listen to me,
come on listen to me
Come on listen, listen

Whatever gets you to the light
'salright, 'salright
Out the blue or out of sight
'salright, 'salright
Don't need a gun to blow your mind
oh no, oh no

Hold me darlin'
come on listen to me
I won't do you no harm
Trust me darlin'
come on listen to me,
come on listen to me
Come on listen, listen

Now listen up
She's razor sharp
If she don't get her way
She'll slice you apart
Now she's a cool, cool BLACK
She moves like a cat
If you don't get her name
Well you might not make it back

She's got the looks that kill, That kill
She's got the looks that kill, That kill
She's got the look

She's got looks that kill
She's got looks that kill

Now she's bulletproof
She keeps her motor clean
Oh, and believe me, you
She's a number thirteen
The clock strikes midnight
She's lookin' louder and louder
She's gonna turn on HER juice, boy
Well then she'll turn on her power

She's got the looks that kill, That kill
She's got the looks that kill, That kill
She's got the look

She's got looks that kill
She's got looks that kill

She's got looks that kill
She's got the look

[Solo:]

Hey!

Now listen up
She's razor sharp
If she don't get her way
She'll slice you apart
Well she's a cool, cool BLACK
Moves like a cat
If you don't get her name
You might not make it back

She's got the looks that kill, That kill
She's got the looks that kill, That kill
She's got the look

She's got looks that kill
She's got looks that kill
(repeat to fade)


Crue

"Oh and believe me you, she's a number 13" LOL Never understood that as a kid. Cute.

rocked out to this one in the car today.

mmph! good stuff.

Genesis -- No Reply At All
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DisZ6qmNdbo

Talk to me, you never talk to me.
Ooh, it seems that I can speak.
But I can hear my voice shouting out.
But theres no reply at all.

Look at me, you never look at me,
Ooh, Ive been sitting, staring, seems so long.
But youre looking through me
Like I wasnt here at all.
No reply, theres no reply at all.

Dance with me, you never dance with me.
Ooh, it seems that I can move,
Im close to you, close as I can get.

Yet theres no reply at all,
Theres no reply at all.

I get the feeling youre tryin to tell me,
Is there something that I should know?
What excuse are you tryin to sell me?
Should I be reading stop or go, I dont know.

Be with me, seems youre never here with me,
Ooh, Ive been trying to get over there.
Ah, but its out of my reach.
And theres no reply at all.
Theres no reply at all.

I get the feeling youre trying to tell me;
Is there something that I should know?
What excuse are you trying to sell me?
Should I be reading
stop or go, I dont know.

Maybe deep down inside,
Im trying for no one else but me.
Too stubborn to say, the buck stops here.
Its not the one youre looking for.
But, maybe deep down inside,
Im lying to no one else but me.
Oh but my back is up.
Im on my guard - with all the exits sealed.

Listen to me, you never listen to me,
Ooh, and it seems theres no way out,
Ive been trying, but we cannot connect,
And theres no reply at all,
Theres no reply at all,
Theres no reply at all,
No reply at all.

Is anybody listening - oh oh,
No reply at all...

"shimmer"


She calls me from the cold
Just when I was low,
feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside,
isn't on the label
She says she's ashamed
And she can take me for a while
And can I be a friend,
we'll forget the past
But maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend
We're here and now,
but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world
is sure to fade
Away again
She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise,
pink linen and white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies,
reality escapes her
She says that love
is for fools that fall behind
And I'm somewhere in between
I never really know
A killer from a savior
'Til I break at the bend
We're here and now,
but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world
is sure to fade
Away again

It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away....
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away....

It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away....
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away....

It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away....
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away....

Guess I'll let it go

Foo Fighters attempting to cover Carly's...

Youre So Vain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhqj2hM4a-c

"son of a gun"
You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and...

hadnt heard this one in awhile

Canary in a Coalmine - The Police
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQEIYjS1ePY

First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
You live you life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

You say you want to spend the winter in firenza
Youre so afraid to catch a dose of influenza
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

Canary in a coalmine

Now if I tell you that you suffer from delusions
You pay your analyst to reach the same conclusions
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

Canary in a coalmine

First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

Canary in a coalmine

INXS
"The Devil Inside"


Here comes the woman
With the look in her eye
Raised on leather
With flesh on her mind
Words as weapons sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die
Other half die

Here come the man
With the look in his eye
Fed on nothing
But full of pride
Look at them go
Look at them kick
Makes you wonder how the other half live

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside

Here come the world
With the look in its eye
Future uncertain but certainly slight
Look at the faces
Listen to the bells
It's hard to believe we need a place called hell

The Scorpions

Send Me An Angel


The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her thats where I belong
Yet Im running to her like a rivers song

Chorus:
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Shes got a fine sense of humor when Im feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief

Chorus:
Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight

And when Im returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul

Ooooh

Hey you say you want to start over again
like i ever wanted it to be any different.
I've been watching all your colors fade to blue
said you'd come back like I'd want you to want you to
stop pretending everything's all right.

Oh baby blue oh baby blue
come here I'm gonna smear another color over you
get out of bed you little sleepy head your black
and white needs a little bit of red.
your black and white needs a little bit of red.

Oooh

Couldn't handle pressure life had put you through
thought you might have bit a little more than you could chew.
no i don't believe it when you say i will make it up to you
said you'd come back didn't want you to want you to
stop pretending everything's all right.

Oh baby blue oh baby blue
come here I'm gonna smear another color over you
get out of bed you little sleepy head
your black and white needs a little bit of red.
your black and white needs a little bit of red.

Baby blue oh
Baby blue oh

Oh baby blue oh baby blue
come here I'm gonna smear another colour over you
get out of bed you little sleepy head your black
and white needs a little bit of red.
your black and white needs a little bit of red.

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything
All at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
I went to a *****
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause
It's bringing her down

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Uh, yuh, yuh, ya

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned

Hey....oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas
untouched by sheets of clay
were laid spread out before me
as her body once did
all five horizons
revolved around her soul
as the earth to the sun
now the air I tasted and breathed
has taken a turn
ooh and all I taught her was everything
ooh I know she gave me all that she wore
and now my bitter hands
chafe beneath the clouds
of what was everything
oh the pictures have
all been washed in black
tatooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by
some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
so why do I sear
oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
round my head
I'm spinning
Oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away....
and now my bitter hands
cradle broken glass
of what was everything
All the pictures had
all been washed in black
tattooed everything
All that I am
all I'll be...
Yeah
Uh-huh
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
in somebody else's sky
but why
why
why can't it be mine...

That was my favorite song,
for a while, about 15 years ago.
Still a definite favorite.

Also,
Breath and State of Love And Trust
(both off the Singles soundtrack)

What else...

Given to Fly
Rearview Mirror
Elderly Woman Behind The Counter..

Most of their songs are good,
but those are my favorites.

You look like a perfect fit;
a girl in need of a tourniquet.
But can you save me?
Come on and save me.
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.

'Cause I can tell you know what it's like.
A long farewell of the hunger strike.
But can you save me?
Come on and save me.
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.

You struck me dumb, Like radium
Like Peter Pan, or Superman,
You have come to save me.
Come on and save me.
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
But the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.

Come on and save me.
Why don't you save me?
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who could never love anyone.
